Of course I have to bitch about the naming :) Intuitively: kernel owned vs ... user owned? No, it's kernel owned vs core-mm owned. Which implies core-mm is not part of the kernel? Yes, this is confusing. ;) I assume you're coming from "map_kernel_pages*", but that's rather "kernel memory" and not "kernel owned". Usually we say "driver owned" when not talking about pagecache/anon. Or user vs. kernel memory. So is it really all about "is this (excluding CoW) no ordinary user memory that we would track through the rmap" ? > > Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM) > --- > include/linux/mm.h | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- > tools/testing/vma/include/dup.h | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++- > 2 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/include/linux/mm.h b/include/linux/mm.h > index 2a92193ac6a5..cab29d6e15c1 100644 > --- a/include/linux/mm.h > +++ b/include/linux/mm.h > @@ -1612,6 +1612,44 @@ static inline bool vma_is_shared_maywrite(const struct vm_area_struct *vma) > return is_shared_maywrite(&vma->flags); > } > > +/** > + * vma_flags_is_kernel_owned() - Do the specified VMA flags indicate that the > + * contents of the VMA are owned by the kernel rather than the core mm? > + * @flags: The VMA flags to test. > + * > + * A kernel-owned mapping is one whose contents are established and controlled > + * by the kernel, typically a driver, rather than by the core mm's fault and > + * rmap machinery. > + * > + * The mapping may be memory-mapped I/O, kernel-allocated pages or ordinary > + * pages the owner has chosen to map itself (shmem via a PFN map, for instance). > + * > + * In all cases the core mm must not populate, reclaim, migrate, copy-on-write > + * or merge it of its own accord. > + * > + * Pages mapped this way are not necessarily reference counted or map counted. > + * > + * Returns: true if the flags indicate a kernel-owned mapping. > + */ > +static inline bool vma_flags_is_kernel_owned(const vma_flags_t *flags) > +{ > + return vma_flags_test_any(flags, VMA_PFNMAP_BIT, VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT, > + VMA_IO_BIT); I thought we have cases where we drivers insert pages and neither set VMA_PFNMAP_BIT nor VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT. I assume vmf_insert_page_mkwrite() is fine because it is DAX doing it (should we limit this interface to DAX?). -- Cheers, David
